Josh Okogie Returns To Action For Monday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Josh Okogie has been given the green light to suit up for Monday's contest against the Celtics. Okogie had been on the shelf for the past three games due to the league's health and safety protocols, which have zapped Minnesota of nearly all its depth. Even when given a sizable minutes […]

Raiders Hoping Darren Waller Can Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said he's hoping that tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) will be able to get on the practice field on Wednesday, but it's still a touch-and-go situation.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) suffered a knee sprain in last week's loss to the Tennessee Titans and is expected to miss at least the final two games of the regular season.

Boston Celtics power forward Grant Williams has rejoined the active roster for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Marcus Smart Will Miss Monday’s Game

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Minnesota, further decimating the team's backcourt depth. Payton Pritchard stands to see a massive workload without Smart, Dennis Schroder, or Josh Richardson (health and safety protocols) in the mix. While Smart is on pace to set a new career high […]

Jae'Sean Tate, Kenyon Martin Jr. Land In COVID-19 Protocols

Houston Rockets power forwards Jae'Sean Tate and Kenyon Martin Jr. have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely, including for Monday's game against Charlotte. The absence for Tate will mark his first of the season, as he has enjoyed a scoring increase during December, sitting at 13.6 points per […]

Armoni Brooks, Josh Christopher Draw Starts Monday

The Houston Rockets will deploy the duo of Armoni Brooks and Josh Christopher as their starting backcourt for Monday's matchup vs. the Hornets. With both Jalen Green (rest) and Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) active but not expected to play, Brooks and Christopher should be in line for a sizable increase in both minutes and offensive […]

Technically speaking, Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green (rest) and point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) have been cleared to play in Monday's game against Charlotte.

Austin Ekeler Removed From COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Ekeler officially went on the COVID list last Wednesday and wasn't able to play in the team's surprising Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans. Justin Jackson filled in nicely as a fantasy and real-life replacement, though, carrying 11 […]

Deandre Ayton Unavailable For Monday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton is unavailable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ayton will join teammates Jae Crowder and Elfrid Payton in protocols. Fantasy managers should expect Ayton to miss a few games, so hopefully there's an IR spot available. In the meantime, JaVale McGee should move into the starting five. He should […]

Trae Young Cleared For Monday's Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has cleared protocols ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. That means, Young is back and is one of nine players available for Atlanta. That being said, Young will see all the minutes and shots he can handle on Monday. Fantasy managers should make sure he's back in their […]

Tyler Kroft Lands On COVID-19 List

New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, making him uncertain to suit up for Sunday's matchup vs. the Buccaneers. Kroft played in a season-high 86% of the Jets' offensive snaps in Week 16, finishing with three receptions for 29 yards, while tying his season high with five targets. […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Questionable Against Nets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has cleared COVID-19 protocols, but Morris has to work on getting his conditioning back. Fantasy managers should expect Morris to be limited, assuming he does suit up on Monday. However, he'll have increased value going forward […]

Matt Judon, Ja'Whaun Bentley Land On Reserve/COVID-19 List

New England Patriots linebackers Matt Judon and Ja'Whaun Bentley were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, throwing their status for Sunday's game against Jacksonville into flux.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Lands In COVID-19 Protocols

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has landed in the league's health and safety protocols. He'll join Darius Bazley, Tre Mann, Aleksej Pokusevski and Aaron Wiggins in protocols right now. That being said, Derrick Favors, Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Roby should all see more minutes coming their way. The Thunder are shorthanded at the forward […]

Cody Martin Available Against Rockets

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin will be available for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has cleared protocols and will be back in action for this game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same type of production from when LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier were sidelined. Martin will have a reduced role off the bench, […]

Raiders Defense Sees Four Starters Hit COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders were hit hard Monday, seeing six members of its defense added to the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list. The group includes linebackers Denzel Perryman, Cory Littleton, K.J.

Shake Milton Remains Out On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Milton has cleared protocols, but needs to build up his conditioning. Fantasy managers should expect him back on the court soon. In the meantime, Tyrese Maxey will see all the minutes he can handle. Maxey is worth streaming and […]

Tajae Sharpe Lands On COVID-19 List

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, further complicating his return to action after missing Week 16 due to a foot injury. Without Sharpe (and Calvin Ridley) in the mix, Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus have taken over the top two wideout roles, while Kyle Pitts remains a passing […]

Dan Arnold, Nine Other Jaguars Hit COVID-19 List

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold was one of 10 players from his squad placed on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. Arnold was joined by fellow tight ends Luke Farrell and Chris Manhertz, leaving the team extremely thin at the position outside of James O'Shaughnessy if the trio are unable to clear protocols in time […]

Kwon Alexander Lands On COVID-19 List, Out Monday

New Orleans Saints linebacker Kwon Alexander will miss Monday's contest against Miami after having been added to the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list shortly prior to kickoff.

Elijah Mitchell Could Return For Sunday’s Contest

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) may be available in time for a Week 17 matchup against the Texans, per head coach Kyle Shanahan. While Shanahan said that Mitchell "has a chance" to suit up, there will be significant hurdles for him to clear prior to kickoff. The explosive rookie's absence has allowed […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Misses Monday’s Practice With Thumb Injury

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) was not present at practice Monday, as head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that the signal caller is dealing with a sprained right thumb stemming from a Week 16 defeat against Tennessee.

Baltimore Hopes To Have Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley were unable to suit up for Sunday's contest against Cincinnati, but head coach John Harbaugh revealed Monday that he was "hopefully" going to have both signal-callers back for a Week 17 showdown with the Rams.

Mike Williams Remains Sidelined For Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will miss Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, as he remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is unvaccinated. Additionally, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and safety Nasir Adderley will miss the game, leaving the Chargers defense without two key starters in the secondary. Williams missed Week 16 against the Texans, […]
